Shi is an ordinary monk in South Shaolin, Quanzhou, Fujian. Because of his love for martial arts and his challenge to himself, he trained hard and finally became a one-finger Zen and a two-finger Zen, but he was still not satisfied with his decision to challenge the lightness skill in Shaolin's seventy-two unique skills. Everyone knows that the buoyancy of water can't support people's weight, but in the martial arts cheats, "floating on the water" is only a short introduction of more than ten words. With good martial arts skills, Shi completed the first15m floating on water with straw mats and splints in 2006. However, this did not satisfy him. After three years of hard training, he challenged again in 2009. This time, he only used 12 pieces of plywood, which was 120 cm long and 60 cm wide, and completed 15 m floating on the water in 0.4 seconds. Compere: What novels did our generation read when they were young? At that time, there were not so many books on the market now, and girls probably liked them best. Undoubtedly, our novels, at that time, we boys liked the martial arts novels written by Gu Long Guxia and Jin Yong, the master of Jin Yong. Do you want the magical power of Nandi Beggars' Sect Zhou written by Mr. Jin Yong and Chu Liuxiang written by Mr. Gu Long? Those people are too attractive to us. Why? When people show their flying skills, don't say anything about jumping over the wall. They don't need any equipment at all. They took a breath, stepped on the water with their toes, took the robe and walked over. They don't change color on the other side, they don't breathe, and they don't have any water droplets on them. Do you think this can not attract our young hearts at that time, but is there such a thing in life? Common sense tells us that it is impossible. If someone steps on the water, only one result will plop. However, in today's program, we will show you a strange man who is said to be able to fly on water. On July 9, 2006, in Caobang Reservoir, Quanzhou, Fujian, a monk and his assistant laid a straw mat on the water surface, and then laid a board on the straw mat. With straw mats and boards laid, the monk is ready to hit the Shui Piao record of15m. Can he do it? I saw the straw mat nearly 15 meters long, rolling like waves, and the monk flew to the finish line. The assistants didn't run far before they sank into the water. Why did his assistant fall into the water before he ran far? Instead of sinking, the monk ran faster and faster. Does he have any peerless martial arts, or is it just a magic show? How did he develop his flying skills on water? The flying monk is called Shi. When he was a child, his dream was to be a special soldier with special skills, and he burned it at the age of thirteen. Let his dreams be dashed. He came to Quanzhou, Fujian a few years ago and became a monk in Shaolin Temple. This is what people often say about South Shaolin. The reason why he came here is not only his reverence for Buddhism, but also his yearning for Shaolin Kung Fu. Shi: My favorite movie since I was a child is the costume martial arts movie. For those martial arts movies, I feel more active, with some foundation, some foundation and some talent. As the saying goes, when it comes to advanced martial arts, it is natural that Shaolin martial arts with a long history entered Shaolin Temple, where teacher Li Liang got systematic training with his disciples, and soon became two-finger Zen and one-finger Zen. Shi: not day by day, but the kind of experience I have mastered for many years. Start with ten fingers handstand, six fingers, four fingers, one arm, two arms, and then one arm. Although "One Finger Zen" and "Two Finger Zen" are profound martial arts, Shi is still not satisfied. Shi: In the past, I often watched TV at home. I often watched Swallow. I see that he is very good at flying. At that time, I thought, I am small, and practicing this kind of flight is suitable for small people. We see a lot about flying skills in martial arts novels and movies and TV series. Those martial arts experts can not only fly over the eaves and walk on the walls, but also jump on eaves and trees more than ten meters high. Some fly around in the air like wings. By chance, Shi Liang found a book introducing Shaolin Wushu in the Buddhist Sutra Hall of Shaolin Temple, called The Complete Collection of Shaolin Wushu, which recorded the skills of hanging pot and meditation with one finger. Shi Ligang: First, you should practice running. Second, you have to run with a load, because for example, our normal load is 65,438+00 kilograms. After you run 10 km, if you put down this 10 kg sandbag, you will feel that the whole person is very light. For example, you can jump, generally you can jump 65,440. In order to practice lightness skill, he carries out weight-bearing training every day. He can be seen in the back hill, courtyard wall and steep slope of the temple. Before long, on the roof of the high temple, he was on the ground and could come and go freely. It is not a problem for him to fly down from a wall more than ten meters high. He found that among the various lightness skills recorded in the book, there is one that makes people float on the water. We often see this kind of scene in many film and television works, but it is through the actor's hanging Wei Ya and post-production that the visual effect of this water-light skill is achieved. However, as one of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, floating on water is only briefly described in a dozen words. To sum up briefly, all the connotations floating on the water are not mentioned in the book. With these dozens of words, how can Shi complete this legendary martial arts? Shi: It's written in the book. This kind of imagination is really true. Since ancient times, we have never seen anyone who can really meet that kind of person. I have never heard of it. The book is just a description, but I don't believe it too much. Pursue more reality according to reality. According to our common sense, it seems that no one can do it unless we have the ability of animals. This is a reptile called King Lizard, which is distributed in tropical America. It mainly lives in trees near rivers or streams. It usually crawls on all fours. Once frightened, it can use the kung fu of water flight to escape without a trace. It runs fast on the water with its hind feet. It can reach the speed of 1 1 km without sinking into the water. Small aquatic insects water strider can not only slide on the water, but also jump and play gracefully on the water like an ice skater. The researchers found that water strider had grease balls on his legs, so he wouldn't soak his legs. Water strider's long legs can support 15 times on water. Moderator: We said that even if he practiced martial arts since childhood, he was just like us normal people. His feet will not be webbed like ducks, nor will they be webbed like king lizards, that is, snake-crowned lizards. It is even more impossible to have water strider's long limbs and greasy things, which he doesn't have. In a sense, he actually faces the water like any untrained person. Is it impossible for the legendary stunt to really exist? In fact, when we see this painting, we will immediately think of a very famous figure in Buddhism, that is, the founder of Buddhism and Zen. It is said that it is difficult for him to get the skills of Buddhism in his life. When he faces the endless river without people and boats, he can walk leisurely to the north. What did he do? Everyone has heard the story of a reed crossing a river. It is said that Father Dharma picked a reed, threw it into the water, stepped on it, and he crossed the river. Of course, this is a legend. We can't guarantee that this has really happened in history, but it has provided a revelation to history. Father Dharma can use reeds. Can I learn anything from this method? Man always challenges his limits with his cleverness. For example, with the help of poles, we can jump higher, and with the help of trampoline, we can stay in the air. Can Xie also use some tools to help him float on the water? At first, he tried to connect several straw mats into a long mat with a total length of about 10 meter and spread it directly on the water, but this attempt was unsuccessful. Note: Because the straw mat is elastic, it is too elastic. Stepping on it is like stepping in a mud pit, and you will sink in. Still not working. No matter how light a person is, he still has weight. No matter how he looked up the secrets of Shaolin, he couldn't find any practice about floating on the water and ways to prevent sinking. In practice, there is no successful experience to follow He can only cross the river by feeling the stones. He thinks that good running skills should be very important for floating on the water. Shi Ligang: First, you should have this speed. Without this speed, it will definitely sink. There is also your overall lightness. First of all, you should practice running. Second, run with a heavy load. We can make you consume more physical energy and make relatively greater progress. So Shi stepped up his running training, and he could be seen running sooner or later. He even tied a sandbag full of iron sand to his leg and put on a sandbag vest weighing 10 kg to bear more weight. Shi: I feel as light as a swan, because my former friends said that I walked quietly like a ghost. Sometimes I stepped aside, and sometimes he couldn't keep up with me. This kind of exercise has been going on for three years, and Li's physical quality has gradually improved. Is this helpful for practicing lightness skill? How did he solve the problem that the straw mat was too soft to tread on in the previous experiment? Shi: I want to add another board in the future and try it again. Before this, no one thought of using plywood to do the same experiment, but even if plywood strengthened its support for running on water, running on this floating water platform was still not easy. Li Yindong: So the first point is to keep balance. This is the first thing. The second center of gravity should not go up and down. When you watch him running, you will see that his body's center of gravity is basically where his legs are moving, but his body is basically maintained, that is, the position above the navel is the center of gravity of the person, and it is kept in a state of horizontal movement, otherwise it is up and down, right. In the process of running, the grass mat at the bottom has certain buoyancy, which can stabilize the splint above. Every time he directly steps on the splint, the water surface gives the plank a rapid upward support force during the rapid sinking of the splint. With the help of the instantaneous support force, he will hold the weight of the whole body, so he will not fall into the water. Moderator: So if we can stand on the water by our own strength, yes, for example, we all know that westerners like to play this kind of surfing. With such a surfboard, when the waves come, people can stand up and keep balance on the water with the power provided by the waves. It's as if people are crossing a wave wall. If you don't rely on skateboarding, can you stand on the water with other tools? And water skiing. As long as you are fast enough, there is a motorboat pulling you ahead and you are holding the wire rope. As long as you have a good balance, this person can also stand on the water. But the question is how fast you have to reach and whether you can keep your balance on the water. These are the most critical factors that determine whether you can stand on the water.
